The AUP screens rely on the Quota functionality of the Connector. If the

displayed again to the end users.
Filtering Notifications
In the Notifications box in the left-navigation menu of the Filtering page, the
following settings require configuration:
•
User Messages – specifies the message which an end-user will see when a
request is blocked.
•
Email Alerts – enables an administrator to receive an email alert when for
blocked activity.
Further information is given on these settings below.
Filtering User Messages
The User Message is the page that your users will see in their web browser if their
web request is blocked. You can append your own information to the Alert Page in
order to customize it for your organization. For example, you may wish to add the
System Administrator's contact details, or links to your organization's web filtering
and security policy. Note that the custom information must be submitted in HTML.
The web security service allows for fully customizable block pages, which means
that you can define the entire HTML output of the block page up to and including
the opening and closing <html> tags. This allows you to customize block pages
with your own logo and text on the block page.
To set up User Messages:
1.
Click the “Filtering” link at the top of the screen.
2.
Click the “User Messages” button in the Notifications sub-menu in the left
hand column. This will bring up the “User Messages” screen.
3.
Clear the "Include standard header template" check box to remove the
existing logo from the block page.
4.
Enter the desired HTML into the "User Messages" field. Any images/css
referenced needs to be a resolvable location. Typically you will be required to
host your own images/css for this page.
5.
You may insert #reason, #url, #category or #username into the HTML and it
will be parsed as the reason for the block event. More detail available on this
in the next section.
